    Great way to learn about Malagasy culture

    Our local guide Lanto took us on foot from our hotel in Independence Square up to the Queens Palace, stopping along various points of interest along the way (which we wouldn't have realised if travelling independently), and showed us around the museum in the Queens Palace. Lanto was very friendly and highly knowledgeable- sharing interesting stories about the Malagasy culture, and was able to answer all our questions. Remember to bring local cash for the Queens Palace (40k Ar per foreigner, plus 10k Ar for the local guide).

    Nathan picked me up at my hotel and we took a taxi downtown for the tour. He was a very informative and entertaining tour guide. I learned a lot and the time sped by. He even made arrangements with our taxi driver to drive out of the way back to my hotel so I could pick up some specific vanilla to take home as a present. All in all, an excellent tour.

    Amazing guide wonderful tour

    Viviane was an amazing guide. It was a great experience being escorted around town and learning about the city. She gave us great recommendations for the rest of our trip in Madagascar.

    Fun day to see Antananarivo

    Carl_C, Nov 2024
    My excellent tour guide, Lanto, is a third year tourism major university student. She takes me around town from my hotel all the way to the Queen Palace, visiting a few landmarks along the way. It is a fun filled tour to see Antananarivo before flying out to see the country. Highly recommended.

    Excellent intro to Madagascar

    Daniel_S, Sep 2024

    I had a great guide and visited many parts of Antananarivo. I learned very much about Tana and Madagascar.

    タナ!

    Yoshimura_T, May 2025
    かなり歩きますが、タナの街を知る良い機会でした。フレキシブルな対応をしてもらえ、詳しい説明もありました。何より、ガイドさん無しでは行けないような、ディープなマーケット体験が印象的でした。天気も快晴でした。
